PCB461A 4.2mm Dual Row PCB Headers

Description

Dual-row PCB header selection

ULO-PCB461A is a male through-hole PCB header family with 4.2mm mating pitch in two rows. The ordering range is 2 × 2 to 2 × 10, giving 4 to 20 total contacts. Choose a vertical header or one of three right-angle mounting structures.

Outline and PCB layout

N is the number of contacts per row, from 2 to 10. The mating-face pitch is 4.20mm in both directions. The PCB layout uses 4.20mm contact pitch along each row and 5.50mm between solder rows. Apply the layout tolerance of ±0.05mm and the drawing for the chosen mounting structure.

R1 ears have Ø2.40mm holes in the housing, while its PCB mounting-hole reference is Ø3.40mm. R2 locating-post holes sit 7.30mm beyond the nearer solder row in the depicted layout. The right-angle contacts show a 1.14mm width reference; use each drawing's detailed dimensions and tolerances for footprint preparation.
